How Often Should You Service Your Mercedes-Benz?
Routine maintenance is one of the best ways to help your Mercedes-Benz continue delivering the performance, comfort, and luxury you expect. Whether you drive throughout downtown Boston, commute from the suburbs, or enjoy weekend trips around New England, following your vehicle's recommended maintenance schedule helps keep it performing at its best.
Modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles are equipped with advanced systems that monitor maintenance needs and notify you when service is due. While every vehicle and driving style is different, understanding the general service schedule can help you stay ahead of routine maintenance.
How Often Does a Mercedes-Benz Need Service?
Many Mercedes-Benz models typically require scheduled maintenance approximately every 10,000 miles or once per year, whichever comes first. Your vehicle's Flexible Service System (FSS) or ASSYST maintenance indicator continuously monitors driving conditions and alerts you when service is recommended.
Rather than relying on mileage alone, your Mercedes-Benz considers factors such as driving habits, engine operating conditions, and time since your previous service to determine when maintenance should be performed.

| Service B | Approximately 20,000 miles or 2 years |

*Always follow your vehicle's maintenance reminder system and owner's manual for the recommended service interval.
